A member asked:

Hello. sometimes i wake up with a full stomach in the morning around 5am before school. i had wanted to know how long should i wait to eat or drink ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immediately : Though your stomach may feel full when you wake, it's ok to eat or drink. Depending on the type of meal & assuming no gastrointestinal problems, your stomach is half empty in about 2 hours, & your stomach & small intestine clear in about 5 hours. Hope that helps.
